This Hitachi drill has proven to be one of my favorite tools. I am currently remodeling my home and this drill has proven very useful and versatile. It is lighter than the last generation 18v drills with the nimh batteries yet has more torque ( 460 inch pounds ). The built in LED light has made working in low light situations much easier. The handle has a grippy surface. The forward and reverse buttons are accessible with the hand that is using the drill without taking it away from the work surface.The lithium ion batteries last a long time allowing completion of jobs the old drills couldn't do with a single battery. Charging takes a bit longer, but with two batteries supplied this is no problem.
I bought this drill after looking into many different brands and with the small compact size and weight and amount of torgue it has for its size was ideal for constent use during the day. I was very happy after putting it to work the first few days. It didn't weigh down on you and it feels great in your hand, nice and comfortable and compact little drill and the fact it has 18v ion battery, good constent power through out the day. Has enough power to get most jobs done quickly and has nice locking chuck and drill light. Overall, very happy with this buy and would buy this product again.
Good quality. Battery last long. Love the hook on the side. Easy to install the bits. Flashlight is bright. I have the older model too, but this one is better.

After both of the batteries on my old drill died I started to search and research a replacement. Since the newer drills of this caliber were priced too high for my wallet I was delighted to find this bargain. This is a great lightweight and powerful tool. The lithium batteries hold a charge much longer than my old cadmium powered drill. I like that they did provide a new flashlight and a large case. The drill has some nicks and scratches but doesn't look beat up. Overall an excellent buy for a great product. The only thing that would have made it really super would have been new batteries instead of used.
my husband has used this several times after receiving as a Father's Day gift and absolutely loves it..... it is easy to use and we bought this brand because it was highly recommended by Consumer Digest magazine......Great choice....
